Marigold Boho Coaster

Last summer, I released my Marigold Market Bag as a three-part CAL, and when I was working up the mandala portion, I fell in love with the progress after certain rounds. So I thought I would share two different styles of coasters I made from working up to certain rounds of the original mandala portion. I used a few different weight yarns and hook sizes to achieve completely different looks, so I’m including directions for both versions here for you!

For the first style coaster, which I’ll refer to as the Peaks style, I used a 4mm / G hook. In my first version of this style, I used some Hobby Lobby’s ILT Cotton, a CYC 4 worsted weight yarn, from my stash (see the orange colored coaster below, top left). Next, I made it again using a similar weight yarn, Premier Home Cotton (see the aqua colored coaster below, top right). Using a 4mm / G hook, I worked the original mandala pattern up to Round 6, blocked it, and I had my first style with pretty peaks.

For the second style coaster, which I’ll refer to as the Petals style, I hit my stash again and found some Paton’s Grace, which is a CYC 3 Light Worsted cotton yarn (see below, bottom row). With a 3.75 mm / F hook, I worked the original mandala pattern up to Round 8, and I didn’t have to block it this time because now I had these pretty petals, giving me my second style!

As I made more of these with different yarns from my stash, I found that the original yarn in the market bag pattern, Bernat Softee Baby Cotton (CYC 3 Light Worsted), worked up with a 4 mm / G hook was a suitable alternative to using worsted weight yarn for the Peaks style (see below, bottom row). I also found that using Aunt Lydia’s Size 3 crochet thread with a 3.75 mm / F hook achieved a similarly delicate alternative to using Paton’s Grace (see below, top row). Can we just take one quick second to admire the rustic chic look achieved with these neutral colors? So pretty 🙂

Materials

Depending on which style you choose to make, your materials needed will very. Please see the chart below for hook and yarn suggestions. You will also need a tapestry needle and scissors, and a stitch marker if desired.

Notes

Chain stitches at beginning of rounds do not count as a stitch unless otherwise noted.

This pattern is worked in joined rounds.

Slip stitches used to close rounds are NOT counted in the stitch count for that round.

Round 2 is worked using the chains from your cluster stitch as stitches themselves, so that the pattern can increase accordingly in the round.

Round 5 will end with a double crochet crochet into the beginning stitch of that round instead of finishing a space using all chains. This is so that the start of the next round begins in the center of that chain set.

The coasters will be worked in joined rounds, unless otherwise noted. Begin with a magic circle / adjustable ring, or alternatively, you can ch 3 and sl st to the first ch to form a ring. Round 1 will be worked into the center of your ring.

R1: Ch 2, *3dcCl, ch 1 (counts as a stitch), repeat
from * 5 more times, sl st to top of first 3dcCl to close. (6 3dcCl, 6 ch-1s)

If you are working with worsted weight yarn, stop here, tie off and weave in your ends. If you like the petal look, you’re all set to go! Or if you want a peaked look, block your work, pulling each of your ch-2 spaces into a peak.

NOTE: slip
stitches to close rounds are NOT counted in your final stitch counts for the
rounds.

Tie off and weave in your ends.

That’s it! Two awesome coasters, each with completely different looks, all from the same pattern! Now you just need to grab your favorite beverage and sit back and relax! Up top! 🙌🏻
